It seemed like a match made in baseball heaven between the Texas Rangers and free agent Anthony Rendon this offseason but per reports, the dream is dead. Per numerous outlets it seems Texas’ apparent top target is headed to AL West rival Los Angeles which is an extra shot to the gut. Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News broke the news Wednesday night that the Rangers were out of the Rendon sweepstakes.
So now that Rendon is out of the picture, Texas will look to pivot towards alternatives to play third base in Arlington for 2020 and possibly beyond.
